B5 Quote?

November 4, 2011 8:51 AM

Trying to remember a specific quote from Babylon 5.

This feels dumb, but my google-fu is failing me.

Vir was saying something to either Delen or Lennier about how he hoped Londo traveling would make him feel better, improve his mood, something like that. And either Delen or Lennier answers something along the lines of "moving the body cannot ease pains of the soul." I'm trying to find that exact quote as my memory has it phrased much nicer, but I'm unable to remember it.

Try Lurker's Guide, drill into the quotes per episode?

Nice to see B-5 on the green.

"And so it begins............"

Miss those days, sigh.

I know the scene. It's Vir thanking Delen for the mission on Minbar. He thinks that spending some time there would do Londo some good, and that's when Lennier says the line you're referring to.

Can't pinpoint the episode exactly. Perhaps Sic Transit Vir?

I think I found it!

Lennier to Vir:
"A darkness carried in the heart can not be cured by moving the body from one place to another." —Season 3 Episode 6 - Dust to Dust
